The bill amends Section 23-27.3-109.1 of the General Laws in Chapter 23-27.3, which pertains to the State Building Code. It empowers the committee to adopt codes and standards that conform with nationally recognized model building codes and other technical provisions aimed at ensuring public health, safety, and welfare. The bill eliminates the requirement for these codes and standards to receive approval from a legislative regulation committee, thereby streamlining the adoption process.

Additionally, the bill introduces a requirement for the committee to submit an annual report to the General Assembly detailing the codes and standards adopted, including proposed amendments and a summary of public testimony from hearings. The provisions regarding the composition and operational procedures of the legislative regulation committee have been repealed, simplifying the regulatory framework surrounding the State Building Code. This act will take effect upon passage.
